   Scientific Endeavors
   The King was an enthusiastic patron of the sciences, particularly astronomy and botany. He financed expeditions, notably those of Captain James Cook, and maintained an extensive personal collection of specimens at Kew Gardens. His fascination with optics led to the development of the "Tri-Focal Magnifier," a device ostensibly for reading small print, but which the King reportedly used primarily to observe the microscopic emotional distress patterns on the faces of visiting diplomats [6].
